@Missouri Mike – Think you’ll love Citi Field and the new Yankee Stadium. Both are impressive. No McCovey Cove, but still pretty nice.

Great list. Special shout out for AT&T Park in San Francisco. An absolute gem of a ballpark. Nothing more cool or exciting than a splash hit into McCovey Cove or watching the game for free thru the RF fence. Went to visit the New York parks in 2001 (2 weeks before 9/11) and looking forward to seeing the new versions sometime soon.

OK. Well lucky for me we get to see the games live most of the time and today my team is playing so with a bit of luck they will win and that will make my day.

@Sire

It use to be on cable in the U.S. years ago. On a channel that no longer exists called Sports Channel. I remember it from that. Haven’t seen it for awhile now.

Do they actually show them in the States or did you see it on cable or something?

@Sire

Yes, I’ve seen it. I’m very impressed by the toughness of the athletes in AFL. A lot like rugby.

Just as a matter of interest, have you ever watched an AFL game? It’s quite good considering that the guys don’t wear any protective clothing, apart from a mouth guard.

@Sire

Definitely an acquired taste, but I was hooked at an early age. It’s a lot easier to watch AFL or NBA as a newbie. Going to a baseball game is a great experience, but the first few times it’s tough to understand. Same is true of cricket I imagine as I have no clue how it works.

I reckon that baseball must be an acquired taste, sort of like our cricked. I much prefer the excitement from watching a good AFL game. having said that, I wouldn’t visit the States without taking in at least one baseball game, just to see what all the hype is about

@SD Fans

A big improvement over their last ballpark. Tough to score runs there.

@Susan

I’m with you in terms of beating the Yanks. Then losing in the World Series to the Mets.

Go Sox!

@Kim Woodbridge

Sorry to hear he didn’t get a chance to see the win in 2004. Magical season for the fans of the Red Sox. Of course, I was glad to see the Mets add to that long drought with a World Series win in 1986 over the Sox

I was so glad to see Fenway listed first I’ve only been to one MLB game and it was at Fenway. This was a looonng time ago – my grandfather was a huge Red Sox fan and we took him to see a game there. He was a kid when they won the World Series in the early 1900′s and unfortunately passed away in 1999 before getting a chance to see them win the World Series again.

@Brian T

I’m very interested to see if the New Yankee Stadium can maintain that aura.

@Lance

I’d like to visit Miller Field. Lots of runs scored there. That roof is definitely a good idea!

Hi Gennaro,
What a fun post! I’ve visited a few baseball parks – and one that would be cool to visit – Fenway!

The one I’ve visited the most is Miller Park, in Milwaukee. There are many activities for all, and the retractable roof – for all the difficulties in installing it – has been a blessing for many a cold and rainy Wisconsin day.

The atmosphere at a St. Louis Cardinals baseball game is also what makes that a fun park to visit.

I would have stuck with the old Yankee Stadium, but I guess money talks. That would have been at least in the top 2. Other than that, I like Wrigley. Fun atmosphere.
